HOW SHEEP PAY.

If a farmer has plenty of patieuce,
and is willing to give close attention
to details IN the care of stock, he
can make more money for food con.
sumed from sheep than any other
stock. But not one farmer in ten
will care to give them the attention
they require at certain seasons of
the year; so a few who do take good
care Of a flock will find good mar.
ket for mutton, and demand for
wool at some price, usually enough
to pay for wintering the flock. A
farm which is rolling in its surface
seems perfectly adapted to sheep
raising. Such land needs grass Oh
the hill tops to keep it from wash.
ing, and sheep need hlll,tops and
sweet, short grass. They like to lie
down on a hillside in the spring,
where the sun makes the ground
dry and warm, and where they are
protected from the cold sweep of the
wind.
The greatest profit from sheep is
not in mutton or wool, but in the
enhanced fertility of the farm on
which they are kept. No other
stock can compare with sheep in
this direction. This increased value
comes from two causes the large
quantity of solid and liquid manure
deposited on all the land, and par
ticularly on the highest and poorest
points in the pasture. The manure,
being fine and wellscattered, is
pressed about the roots of the grass,
where it gives the greatest possible
benefit. Another source whereby
the grasses are encouraged is the
destruction Of bushes and many
kinds of weeds which grow where
cattle and horses only are pastured.
Hazelbrush fares very badly in the
sheep pasture, and wild roses, rag.
weed, burdocks, and other weeds
are selected first, and then the sheep
look for grass. In this way a sheep
pasture becomes like a beautiful
lawn, and every year grows better;
but if the farmer sees millions in
Sheep" and over-stocks his fields,
then the grass goes with the bushes
and weeds. Then the sheep get
poor, tumble down one after another,
their ambition lessons as their flesh
goes, and the unfortunate owner, or
imprudent manager, votes sheep
perfect nuisance.-Americdn Agri.

THE MARYLAND LYNCHING.

The lynching of the negro Bigus
at Frederick City adds one more to
the long list of such outrages that
disgraces the record of Maryland.
The crime with which the man was
charged is one of the most revolving
known to the law, and it is justly
punished by the infliction Of severe
penalties. If he had been tried by
the courts and found guilty by an
impartial jury and the sentence OF
death had been passed upon him the
verdict would have been sustained
by popular sentiment. But he was
given no opportunity to prove
whether the accusation was just or
not. A few hours after his arrest
and with no evidence against him
except the identification OF the vic.
tim, whose Judgment in her then
excited state of mind could not be
relied upon as a trustworthy guide,
the alleged criminal was dragged
from Jail by an excited mob and
hanged to tree and his body rid
died with bullets.
The men who thus took the law
into their own hands doubtless ina
CINE that they have given terrible
warning to every other lustless brute
in the shape of man who may at
tempt to commit the infamous crime
that Bigus was charged with. IL is
possible that they may have impress
ed upon a few such men the risk
they run in giving free rein to their
brutal passions. But while they
may have accomplished this they
have done a great and uncompensa
ted injury to society by loosening
the respect for law and by encour
aging the practice, already so dan
gerously prevalent, of permitting
crime to be punished by irresponsi
BILE mobs of lynchers. Lynching is
worse crime than any conceivable
crime for which it can be used as g
corrective. 1t is anarchism in its
worst form, and the country which
hanged four men in a Western city
only few days ago for advocating
and abetting anarchy should have
no more leniency for the crime o.
lynching.
There is another and worse as
pect of the case also. LyIchers have
rarely any conclusive evidence upor
which to proceed, but, overcome by
the passions of the moment and i'm
patient Of the slow process of the
law, they take the responsibility O
being court, jury and executioner
What may happen in such a case
was seen last May in Indiana, wher
mob hanged and rlddled with bul
let's a man for a felonious assault up
on woman, only to find out after
their victim was beyond all human
help that they had murdered the
wrong man, and that the real Grim
inal was still at large. And it has
never been conclusively proved that
Amer Green, who was lynched in
the same state five weeks ago, die
not tell the truth when he declared
with the rope about his neck, thai
the woman for whose murder he was
about to die was alive and well
These are illustrations enough tt
show that a mob, when it gives way
to its insane anger, assumes a fear
ful responsibility, and a people
which put its foot upon the viper
anarchy ought not to hesitate long
in dealing in an equally prompt
manner with those guilty of the
crime of lynching.-PhilG. Press.

HOW DO We DIG OUR GRAVES ?

Miscellaneous.
HOW DO We DIG OUR GRAVES :?
We must eat or we cannot live. This
we all know. But do we all know that
we die by eating? 1t is said we dig our
graves with our teeth. How foolish this
sounds. Yet it is fearfully true. We
are terrified at the approach of cholera
and yellow fever, yet there is a disease
constantly at our doors and in our houses
far more dangerous and destructive.
Most people have in their own stomachs
poison, more slow, but quite as fatal as
the germ of these maladies which sweep
men into eternity by thousands without
warning in the times of great epidemics
But it is mercy that, if we are watch
full, we can tell when we are threatened.
The following are among the symptoms,
yet they do not always necessarily ap-
pear in the same order, nor are they al
ways the same in different cases. There
is dull and sleepy feeling bad taste
in the mouth, especially in the morning
the appetite is changeable, sometimes
poor and again it seems as though the pa
tent could not eat enough and occasion
ally no appetite at all dizziness and slug
gishness of the mind no ambition to
study or work more or less headache
and heaviness in the head dizziness
on rising to feet or moving suddenly :;
furred and coated tongue; sense of a
load on the stomach that nothing re-
moves hot and dry skin at times yell
low tinge in the eyes scanty and high
colored urine sour taste in the mouth,
frequently attended by palpitation of the
heart impaired vision, with spots that
seem to be swimming in the air before
the eyes cough with greenish-color-
ed expectoration poor nights rest ; a
sticky slime about the teeth and gums :;
hands and feet cold and clammy irrita-
BILE temper and bowels bound up and
costive. This disease has puzzled the
physicians and still puzzles them. 1t is
the commonest of ailments and yet the
most complicated and mysterious
Sometimes it is treated as consumption,
sometimes as liver complaint, and then
again as malaria and even heart disease.
But its real nature is that of constipation
and dyspepsia. 1t arises in the digestive
organs and soon affects all the others
through the corrupted and poisoned
blood. Often the whole body-including
the nervous system-is literally starred,
even when there is no emaciation to tell
the sad story.
Experience has shown that there is but
one remedy that can Ger ainly cure this
disease in all its stages. namely, Shaker
Extract of Roots or Mother Seigel's Cur
alive Syrup. 1t never fails but, never
theless, no time should be lost in trying
other so-called remedies, for they will do
no good. Get this great vegetable pre-
paration, discovered by a venerable
nurse whose name is household word
in Germany and be sure to get the gen.
uine article.

When left your office the 10Th of last May

came satisfied you still had steady and sub
stantial boon-a character of boom that
would last one; that in a few years would
make CREST city. If there was any collapse
failed to find it. think sou only want one
more institution of learning to complete your

hospi al; if not, you will soon have. Beng
physician myself, well know the advant-
age medical school is 10 city. AS the
Homoeopaths are rather a sensitive class, it
might possibly stimulate them to the erec-
